I gave up on it for two primary reasons. One it's out of date at this point MVC is not the current technology. And two it's honestly not a great book for those of us who are beginning in the MVC field it's pretty down the weeds. And it doesn't have a cohesive flow so you understand how the pieces fit together. It would be better if it designed one site and fitted pieces together so you see how it all works.
